Monday

A very nice walk around the lake this morning even though it was dark when I started out.  The temperature was 32 degrees and when the sun did come up it was mostly cloudy, though there were a few peeks of sun coming through.  Not many people out around the lake, but that is usually the case on Monday mornings.  After the weekend it must be hard to get up and out for some people.  The wild life was out and about early this morning though and it was well worth it being up and out just to see it all.  Lots of activity with the geese - chasing each other, honking, flying around and they were just all over the place.  I saw a groundhog, the beaver for the first time, an eagle soaring over head, and the two herons flying around together.  The red winged black birds were out again too.  I see them in the same place most mornings now.
I came upon one person standing still and I thought he was holding a camera and about to take a picture and slowed down so I wouldn't ruin his picture.  Then I noticed he was texting.
I walked 6.7 miles.

Yesterday afternoon we stopped near the BWI airport at the park across the street from the landing strip and watched the airplanes land.  They came one after another.  Here's a picture I took through the windshield.

A couple more are HERE.

Rita's opened the beginning of the month and yesterday we stopped and had our first Gelati of the season.  We both had chocolate with cherry ice.   :-)

Got a couple of loads of laundry washed and hung outside on the line to dry and then went out this morning to do a few errands.  A nice sunny day to be out and about. 

Back home for lunch and then got some cleaning done.  I've been really bad about getting housework done and this week, I'm back to my normal routine - starting upstairs and working my way down and doing a little bit each day and by the time Friday comes around everything is done.  This way I don't get tired of it and I do a better job.

I've gotten really behind on reading blogs and I'm hoping to get caught up later this evening.  Hard to keep up on the weekends.
For now I'm going to sit in a chair and read until Ken comes home, which doesn't give me very much time.  I'm not sure about supper yet, though I guess I'd better hurry up and decide.

Hope your Monday was a happy day and a good start to the week.
Happyone :-)
